From Romero’s original zombie series to the films it inspired, this type of horror succeeds when it laces its scares with biting social commentary, and “Cargo” utilizes this formula to great success. Read full review

If human resilience remains paramount in zombie films, Cargo goes a step further; here, recognising and redressing the divisive mistakes of the past is more important than merely surviving. Read full review

Nevertheless Cargo is a very strong, at times stirring achievement: a zombie film with soul and pathos. Read full review

Co-directors Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke (the latter of whom wrote the screenplay) sacrifice some tension with their more character-based approach, but the cumulative effect is emotionally powerful. Read full review

Perhaps the highest compliment I can pay it is that I think George A. Romero himself would have liked it. Read full review

In terms of performance, Freeman generates about all the emotion this nearly one-man show puts out. At first, Andy’s mission is protection and self-reservation, but Freeman captures the process of shifting priorities marvelously, making Andy’s transition from worried improviser to adapted martyr all the more pleasing to experience.

Freeman gives a little something to moments of angst. But seriously. Yawn. It’s a movie so familiar in its tropes, storybeats and dialogue that it feels like a half-forgotten picture or TV show you’ve already seen. The makeup is often “Walking Dead” mediocre. Read full review

One of the best movies I've ever seen. I don't get emotional that easily, but the ending of Cargo was the most emotional moment I've ever had watching a movie.

Cargo, una película de Netflix protagonizada por Martin Freeman.
Me ha gustado bastante, no solo por el tema de los zombies, sino, por como enfocan las relaciones entre las personas y todo el pesar y la angustia durante el filme. Bien interpretada, contiene una buena banda sonora. Con pocosCargo, una película de Netflix protagonizada por Martin Freeman.

One of the more underrated zombie movies made in recent years. A movie with heart which is rare in this genre.

With sincerity I think this should have stayed like a short-film. The way in which the most important events of the first hour take place like everything that happens to his wife are so unlikely that they border the ridicule.
At least it ends with strength.

Apart from a decent opening and good visuals, this film is dumb and tedious in the extreme.

This movie is centered around a baby crying. I had to turn the volume down constantly. Who thought that this was a good idea?
